The New Autarch Always Has the Right Tool for the Job

Last week we showed off the new Aeldari Guardians kit, and this week we’re taking a closer look at the Autarch that comes in the Eldritch Omens boxed set. This new miniature comes with loads of options allowing you to choose your own path to victory.

Autarchs are skilled military commanders who combine strategic brilliance with deadly combat skills. But, unlike the Guardians that we saw last week, they have walked the Path of the Warrior* several times, gaining experience from a number of different Aspects. They now walk the Path of Command, and they enter battle carrying their personal panoply of weapony, acquired from their time in those Aspects.

The new miniature comes with options to equip your Autarch with a Howling Banshee mask, a regular helmet, or a bare head, as well as a choice of male and female torsos. 

You can also take a Warp Spider jump generator along with either a star glaive or a Scorpion chainsword. For those who prefer to slay their enemies from a distance, you also have options to take a shuriken pistol, Reaper launcher, Dragon fusion gun, or death spinner.**

Phew! That’s a lot of options. Plus, this new model is fully compatible with the existing Autarch kit, giving you even more modelling choices.

You’ll be able to pick up the new Autarch in the Eldritch Omens boxed set, which is available soon – In the meantime, grab a squad of Dire Avengers so that you have someone to lead into battle. Also, sign up for our newsletter to keep up to date with all the big Aeldari reveals this year, including next week’s Path of the Preview, where we’ll be showing off an updated Aspect Warrior.

** So, maybe your Autarch was a Warp Spider, Howling Banshee, Striking Scorpion, Dark Reaper, Fire Dragon, or has fought in several of these Aspects.
